This stylized cartoon imagery, however, doesn't last much beyond the opening load screen, and as you'll see once you get to the Main Menu, most of your time is going to be spent gazing upon the near realistic, CGI faces of the characters. There is a certain distinct style to the menus, a style you can see from the moment you take your first look at the game's box, a vaguely cartoony image of Mike and Linda (or in the British version, at least, Enrique and Rachel), who are the "core" two characters whose life and relationship you get to play with. The theme song is rather upbeat and catchy, not too unlike something you'd expect to hear on the radio - although you are probably going to get a little bit tired of the repetitious nature of the song and the fact it only seems to be about a minute long, played on infinite loop, at least whenever you have accessed the Main Menu screen. Interested in seeing how the game stacks up and whether or not it lives up to expectations and the hype? Then read on, O'Curious Reader, and see whether the game is for you.įrom the moment the game begins to load, you know instantly this is not going to be exactly like The Sims. A German release that's been translated and exported to numerous countries across the globe, their apparent aim is to take on Maxis' The Sims, with the rallying cry they're finally giving what many Sims' players have been secretly craving - good, old fashioned (or not so old fashioned) sexual tension and situations!
